Ann Marie and Austin were referred to me by the lovely Faye of Coordinating Dreams, and I couldn't be happier that she sent them my way. I almost always know from the first meeting when a couple is going to be a good fit, and I was certain that these two were a perfect addition to our 2014 wedding lineup.

Not only are Austin and Ann Marie two of the most genuinely nice people, but they love to have fun and are a joy to be around. Most of our engagement session was spent laughing, and they certainly made sure it didn't feel like work. Despite a rainy forecast all week, we were able to venture to western NC and ended up having perfect weather.

We met up in downtown Blowing Rock, where we began their session with a little fun in the park...

Next, we headed just up the road to Chetola Resort, where the afternoon light was absolutely perfect...

We ended the day in Boone, where Ann Marie and Austin first met, and were lucky to find a gate open at the stadium on the campus of their alma mater, Appalachian State University...

How do I not have a pair of gloves that fun?! I see a search for Penn State pom-pom mittens in my near future.

Austin+Ann Marie :: Thank you so much for giving me the honor of being part of this very exciting part of your lives together! I look forward to your wedding this summer in Winston-Salem and can't wait to laugh some more with the two of you :)
